We travel to Turangi yearly and always stay in this fabulous retreat. The addition of Wi-Fi has been great, and of course we always appreciate being to bring our dogs. With that amazing fire going the house was a warm oasis from the freezing temperatures outdoors. Highly recommend anyone looking to book a holiday in the region.
